Creating a partition for a new drive

Creating partitioons for a new drive:

Using the fdisk -l command find the new disk. Let it be /dev/sda.

Once you give fdisk /dev/sda and 'n' it will ask whether primary or secondary partition. It will ask for the starting block number. Get the information from fdisk -l and give the number Then it will ask the size. Give +sizeM (Eg: +5000M).

Note: partprobe is a program that informs the operating system kernel of
partition table changes, by requesting that the operating system re-read
the partition table. Thus partprobe helps to create a new file system without rebooting the box.
